Dearth of quality manpower strangles Gujarat industry

 The capital of Uttaranchal is Jharkhand. These statements must have left you confused?

 These were some of the answers by graduates applying for the post of marketing executive at a leading company in Ahmedabad.

 The company officials are now in fix whether they should recruit few of these candidates or simply wait till they get a fresh lot of applicants.

 Finding skilled manpower is proving to be difficult in Gujarat, given the poor education standards in the state. People from other parts of the country also prefer to stay away from the state fearing more riots and natural calamities.

 That is the reason why Gujarat has failed to become an information technology hub despite having one of the best bandwidth connections in the country, better road connectivity than most other parts of India and uninterrupted power supply.
